Fufu

Directed by Omolola Ajao
Canada
2021
15 mins

Fufu is a subjective portrait of a first-generation immigrant daughter’s recollection of her mother’s life. Through what is intended to be the perfect re-creation of a childhood meal of Fufu, the daughter immerses herself into the labour of tradition and remembrance. In this imperfect reflection, the daughter dives into reminiscence, and her relationship with her mother.

Sponsored by Consulate General of Canada in Miami and by Canada Now.
